REVIEW: Chips Ahoy! Made With Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Combining Chips Ahoy! chocolate chips cookies with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups sounds like the kind of trickery that only magical asexual elves living in the Hollow Tree Factory could come up with. But, of course, due to patents and trademarks owned by Nabisco, the magical asexual elves who get off on baking packaged treats, instead of woodland creatures, couldn’t have made the Chips Ahoy! Made With Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups cookies.

Through my decades of eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I know fusing peanut butter with chocolate makes an excellent combination, much like bringing together five crazy bitches from New Jersey makes for an entertaining train wreck on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. But merging that awesome combination of peanut butter and chocolate with the equally awesome Chips Ahoy! cookie has the potential to be mind-blowing and belt-busting.

But mostly belt-busting.

The merging of the two makes sense, much like a dinner between the women from The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the cast from The Real Housewives of Atlanta makes sense for the Bravo Network. It would be the Big Bang of Bitchiness, and I believe ratings would go through the roof because hair weaves would be pulled out left and right, police officers would get involved and profanity would be spewed out as verbs, nouns, adjectives and pronouns.

While the Chips Ahoy! Made With Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups cookies don’t make me want to pull out someone’s hair extensions, they do make me want to spurt out profanity in the form of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and pronouns. However, I would be cursing with delight and a smile on my face, and not in anger with crazy eyes, because the Chips Ahoy! Made With Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the muthafuckin’ shit.

Actually, let me take that back. Not the profanity, but how much I enjoyed these cookies.

I’m downgrading how much of the shit it is because it’s hard to detect the unique flavor of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup’s peanut butter in the cookie. There’s definitely a pleasant peanut butter flavor, which is nicely balanced with the chocolate and the rest of the crunchy cookie, but it’s not what I expected. I can see chunks of peanut butter cups in each cookie, but it’s hard for me to believe they’re actual pieces of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Thankfully there’s an ingredients list, which tells me that there are actual Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces. But it’s near the bottom of the list, which tells me there isn’t much. However, there are other ingredients ahead of it on the list that relate to peanut butter cups: peanut butter baking cups, peanut flavored chips, and something called Reese’s Peanut Butter Drops. Since there are more of these ingredients, they might be the cause of the cookie’s unexpected flavor.

Although I’m disappointed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups aren’t noticeable in the cookies, I do think they’re really good. They’ve got the same crunch as regular Chips Ahoy! cookies and are also hard to put down. While I don’t think they’re the muthafuckin’ shit, I do think they are the shit.

Are you sure those are pictures of cookies with Reese’s PBCs? I spy chunks of ham and cheese in those cookies. Can a whole line of Breakfast Ahoy! Cookies be in the works? Bacon, Egg and Cheese Chips Ahoy!

Man I just ate some of these this morning and you are correct. Lucky for me there was only 2 left in the pack when I rolled into work or I’d be in a sugar coma right now. I am scared to buy a bag because it will soon lead to me rolling everywhere when my feet no longer can reach the ground.

I loooove white chocolate. I found though that those refrigerated cookie things you get at the supermarket (don’t know the brand since we get them maybe once every few months) has mini Reese’s cups in them which are delicious right after they’re baked, but unfortunately they’re also too greasy. The cups do tend to change flavor, and I haven’t eaten them cold which would probably allow the oils in the cups to re-solidify and probably taste funny. I’m tempted to put giant white chocolate chunks on my grocery list and maybe I can find the mini cups :(.
I don’t know if my boyfriend would like these chips ahoy just because he would be expecting the same amount of peanut butter cups in it as the ones you bake. Though these would go well on top of ice cream on a banana split.

These cookies r the ish!!!! I’m eating them right now and when I’m not me
and my bro r battling over who will get the last row mmmm…these are the best because I am def not a fan of chips ahoy with all that chocolate taste but I have been going crazy over these…go buy some asap!!!
